[read more]

My name is Diego Alvarez and I go to Belen. My journey with them began when I realized my potential in math wasn’t translating on the SAT. Despite being good at math throughout most of my life, I still struggled on the SAT. I was in Pre-Calculus at the time and had taken the PSAT, which didn’t reflect my true math capabilities. It made me doubt my skills and feel frustrated and confused. Math was my stronger subject so I knew I was counting on that to boost my composite score.

Upon discovering Peace of Pi Learning, I saw an opportunity to maximize my math score. A friend had recommended the service to me, but what really convinced me to join was seeing the Instagram testimonials of students who showed insane score improvements after taking the course.

The experience exceeded my expectations. Initially, I thought it would just be super long, boring classes, but the tutors managed to keep it engaging throughout the four-hour sessions. They were funny and kept the sessions super interactive. I had Mars as my primary tutor, and her ability to make the class laugh while teaching math problems made the whole experience not only effective but also enjoyable.

The biggest lesson I learned was consistency and dedication. Completing homework and assignments was the key to unlocking the scores I aimed for. There’s no magic formula; it’s about trusting the process and putting in the work. I ended up improving +190 points from a 570 to a 760!

I would recommend Peace of Pi Learning to ANYONE looking to improve their SAT Math score. The dedication of the tutors and the engaging sessions got me to achieving my dream SAT score. This experience has not only boosted my confidence but also enhanced my math skills significantly. Thank you Peace of Pi!

“+100 point increase from a 590 to a 690 on the SAT math. I felt a lot more relieved knowing I wouldn’t be needing to take the SAT or ACT again and had reached my goal. Renan and his team are the sole reason I was able to get to where I am today.

[read more]

As I was doing my research on the contents of the SAT, I noticed that I hadn’t learned many of the topics tested. Taking the PSAT twice before the actual SAT was my wake-up call. I barely understood half the topics and knew from then on that I needed help. I tried to self-study for the first SAT and I scored a 590 in the math section. I wasn’t surprised by it but, deep down, I knew it could be so much higher. I was using Khan Academy and was told by my counselor that it was a great website to practice for it. I soon realized that it wasn’t for me and I would have to find another way. 

Everything changed when my cousin introduced me to Peace of Pi and started explaining to me how great Renan’s courses are and how they had the potential to help me immensely. I chose this option because I knew that if I did well on the SAT, it would mean I would spend less money on college expenses with merit-based aid like the Bright Futures Scholarship. It was an investment to sign up for both the May/June Prep 2021 and December Prep 2021 courses with POP. 

When I started the course, I  began to learn so much so quickly. The way they simplified and explained the questions made the SAT feel so easy. Peace of Pi’s way of teaching is very structured while still being engaging. If you need help on a specific topic, you can get a whole packet with videos on how to solve it. 

After taking the course my first time I went up 60 points. I felt motivated but still hadn’t reached my goal, so I didn’t stop there. I knew I just needed to try a little harder and keep persevering. I decided to take the course a second time because I knew Peace of Pi was going to be my only hope of getting the score I needed. The second time I took the SAT in December 2021, I was even more confident than before. 

As I approached the math section, I was getting excited. When I finally got to it, I was laughing. It felt like a walk in the park. There was no stress going through my head and I was smiling almost the whole way. In the end, I got the score I needed to get 75% Bright Futures. I started with a 590 and ended with a 690 in math. I felt so  relieved knowing I wouldn’t be needing to take the SAT or ACT again and had reached my goal. Renan and his team are the sole reason I was able to get to where I am today.

“My math score on the SAT went from a 670 to a 770 only after two months of starting Peace of Pi; a 100 point jump! I realized that I had finally found an SAT mentor  as dedicated to my success as I was.

[read more]

Hi! My name is Lucas Bonassi, I currently attend FIU and I tutored with Peace of Pi as a junior in high school. My SAT journey began before I had ever even heard of Peace of Pi. I had already taken one SAT and wasn’t satisfied with my performance on the exam. I was seeking assistance to perform my absolute best on my future exams and so a friend encouraged me to sign up for Peace of Pi’s March Prep Course. 

By this time it was the middle of my Junior year. I was balancing loads of exams, while also trying to study for the SAT. It was difficult to stay on track trying to multitask the constant load of homework and exams, while studying for an SAT and always trying to find better materials to learn.

I chose to work with Peace of Pi because in an interview with Renan before the tutoring started, I realized something. I realized that I had finally found an SAT mentor as dedicated to my success as I was.

Peace of Pi’s service is superior as I got to work with an instructor directly, asking anything I need at any time. Renan is extremely engaging because he speaks the language of teenagers, and makes learning extremely enjoyable with a couple of jokes here and there. And if you slack even a bit (don’t do it), you’ll have him buzzing your phone to get back on track. The materials and questions provided are also up-to-date and extremely vital when trying to study for the SAT.

My math score on the SAT went from a 670 to a 770 only after two months of starting Peace of Pi; a 100 point jump! My improved score on the math portion allowed me to receive the 100% Bright Futures award and relieved me of the stress that comes with studying for the SAT. Thanks POP!

“I managed to bump my math score from 570 to 750, which was a huge progress, +180 points! I’m aiming to get into West Point, and thanks to this program, I feel pretty good about it.

[read more]

I’m Lily Glover, a senior at Pike County High School in Georgia. I realized I needed extra help when my SAT practice tests weren’t showing any progress. My scores just weren’t improving. Back in ninth grade, I took an SAT for dual enrollment, but my scores weren’t what I needed if I wanted to get into the schools I planned on applying to. 

In my junior year, I stumbled upon Peace of Pi at a summer camp. I became friends with a girl named Manu who had used their program to get into her dream school. She had so many good things to say and convinced me to look into it, and I’m so glad she did!

Describing the program, I’d say it’s hard work, but it really pays off. Peace of Pi provides so much material, and each assignment is worth every minute spent doing it. My motivation came from wanting to feel confident applying to any school without worrying about my SAT scores holding me back. I’m aiming for West Point, and thanks to this program, I feel pretty good about it. Shoutout to the team, especially Mars and Maria, for their support!

The program was amazing at simulating the actual test questions. I learned that doing every single assignment helped—yeah, even the challenging ones. It was tough juggling my regular schoolwork and SAT prep, but I spread it out across the week. Time management is really key when it comes to studying for the SAT, and I definitely learned that during the course of the program. 

In the end, I managed to bump my math score from 570 to 750, which was huge progress, +180 points! I’m aiming to get into West Point, and thanks to this program, I feel pretty good about it. Shoutout to the team, especially Mars and Maria, for their support! Overall, I’m grateful for the program. It helped me achieve my goals, what more can you ask for?

“Peace of Pi gave me all the resources I needed to succeed. Thanks to this program, I’m confident that I’ll meet admission requirements for my top choice engineering schools like the University of Michigan.

[read more]

Hi, my name is Diego Leon and as a rising senior at Belen Jesuit taking honors pre-calc, I wanted to boost my math score to meet my goal for potential engineering programs. Although I had always excelled in math class, I was disappointed when my first SAT attempt didn’t reflect my abilities.

I realized generic tutoring just wasn’t going to cut it if I wanted to get into competitive engineering programs. Here’s the thing – Peace of Pi’s approach just made sense. Their expert instructors first break down each concept until you’ve totally mastered it. Then, you apply what you learned through a ton of realistic practice tests. You gotta put in the work on both ends to see a difference on test day. Sure enough, that balanced style helped me raise my score from 140 points to 750! 

I was initially skeptical that virtual tutoring could work, but the interactive format kept me engaged for hours at a time. The teachers make efficient use of each minute so that you stay focused. While achieving this score required hard work on my end, Peace of Pi gave me all the resources I needed to succeed. I felt fully prepared each time I retook the exam.

Thanks to this program, I’m confident that I’ll meet admission requirements for my top choice engineering schools like the University of Michigan. Boosting my math score has made me feel far more secure about gaining acceptance. I completely recommend Peace of Pi Learning for driven students looking to maximize their SAT math performance.

“130 point increase from a 540 to a 670 on SAT math. If you’re looking to boost your SAT math results by over 100 points like I did, I wholeheartedly recommend giving this tutoring service a try.

[read more]

Hi, my name is Emily Greenfield and I am a senior at MAS. I was struggling to improve my SAT math score after multiple attempts at preparing on my own. I had tried using Khan Academy to study, but only practicing about once a week. Even after taking the test again, my score remained stagnant at 540. I knew I needed a better score to have a realistic chance at admission and scholarships from my top choice colleges. That’s when I turned to Peace of Pi Learning for help.

The virtual group classes were unlike any other test prep I’ve ever experienced. The four hour sessions kept me actively engaged the entire time, with teachers constantly calling on students so I didn’t even have a moment to get distracted. I’ll admit that staying focused for that long was difficult at first, especially towards the end of the sessions when I would feel tired. But I was determined to get the score I wanted, and the highly structured lessons ensured that I was getting the precise instruction I needed.

The program is designed to provide content refreshers and math fundamentals practice early on, then transitions to heavy test repetition and strategy training later. This combination proved extremely effective for me. As we got closer to the actual test date, I made sure to take advantage of the extra review classes, office hours, and group chat support. The teachers made themselves readily available to provide feedback and answer questions on practice tests or home assignments.

After four months of hard work and perseverance, I ended up increasing my SAT math score by 130 points to finish with a 670! This massive improvement has opened so many doors in terms of college options and scholarship opportunities. I finally feel confident in my test taking abilities after acquiring the right strategies and getting comprehensive practice.

I am incredibly thankful for the outstanding SAT prep I received from Peace of Pi Learning. Their structured curriculum and exceptional teachers helped me maximize my potential score. If you are looking to boost your SAT math results by over 100 points like I did, I wholeheartedly recommend giving this tutoring service a try. Just be prepared for challenging work – it’s not easy, but so rewarding in the end!

“The results speak for themselves; my SAT score increased from 530 to 670. Usually I excel more in reading, but with PoP, my math score even surpassed my reading score! “

[read more]

My name is Sophia Vieira, and I attend Florida Christian School as a senior. My SAT score had not been getting any better, and I struggled with self-motivation and accountability. What really intrigued me at first about Peace of Pi’s method was that they  insisted on texting students daily to keep them motivated to complete their assignments. 

I learned about Peace of Pi Learning through recommendations on social media and from friends. I had taken the SAT a couple of times and attempted self-study for a week, but my scores weren’t improving. I had the realization in my senior year, right before the summer ended, that I needed to get my act together for college applications, especially when I saw the high score requirements for the colleges I was interested in, like UF. At that time, my score was only 1150, and I was determined to stand out.

Initially, I considered in person tutoring, thinking it would offer more personalized attention. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the group setting of this program. We were all able to hold each other accountable, which is what I really needed. 

To succeed in this program, discipline and dedication are key. I committed to at least an hour of daily practice. Going back to questions I got wrong was my strategy and made a significant difference in my improvement.

The daily text reminders were incredibly helpful, providing motivation and a sense of support. The online environment, although intimidating at first, turned out to be surprisingly beneficial. Being called out for mistakes forced me to pay attention and learn effectively. This program offered both internal and external accountability.

The results speak for themselves: my SAT score increased from 530 to 670. Usually I excel more in reading, but with POP, my SAT Math score even surpassed my reading scores! This program not only helped me get my dream college, UF,  but it also validated my belief in my ability to excel in standardized tests. 

I’m immensely grateful for this achievement. If I were to give advice to others, I’d encourage them to join this program and be ready to put in the work. Despite initial concerns about the commitment, it’s all worth it when you consider your future!

Hello, I’m Leah Sternberg, a 16-year-old junior at CROP. I initially sought out Peace of Pi Learning after realizing my SAT scores weren’t improving with another program. Despite being strong in math, the specific SAT content threw me off.

A friend, Jamie, who had succeeded with Peace of Pi, recommended the program, and I felt it was exactly what I needed. My initial worry about the virtual group environment faded as the sessions turned out to be incredibly helpful, even if I got questions right.

The service is intense, requiring dedication, but it’s worth it. The variety of resources provided, coupled with a comprehensive review of every possible math problem on the SAT, ensured I was prepared for anything. The practice tests, where there were video explanations to each question, were extremely helpful.

The result? My score jumped from 580 to an impressive 760. This opens up opportunities for Bright Futures and college applications. For students currently in SAT prep, my advice is to keep going. It might be annoying, but the end result is truly worth it.

To parents considering Peace of Pi, I’d say the program understands how to guide students effectively. While it can be stressful, once students commit and put in the time, the results speak for themselves. Thank you, Peace of Pi, for helping me achieve a score that significantly impacts my future!

“I scored a 780, missing only three questions in math…The team provides top-notch tutoring,  and their dedication to students’ success is unmatched .”

Hi, I’m Nicholas Leon, a junior at Belen Jesuit. I want to take a moment to share my experience with Peace of Pi Learning because before connecting with them, math wasn’t my strong suit. After taking my first SAT, I realized I needed a math tutor, and that’s when I heard about Peace of Pi Learning being the best. A friend of mine recommended them to me and I’m so glad he did! 

I had always been good at reading, but math was a different story. Although I consistently had A’s in my math classes, I didn’t think I could achieve a 780. My tutors believed in me from the beginning, and after a few sessions, I started seeing significant improvements.

I had previously scored 630 on math and 730 on reading in the SAT. The imbalance was stressing me out because I wasn’t sure if I could achieve the scores I needed for the best schools. My goal was to potentially apply to Ivy League schools and other top universities. 

The Peace of Pi Learning approach was a game-changer for me. The most important part of my improvement was the homework and practice tests, they made a huge difference in my SAT journey. Besides my own efforts, the POP team kept my assignments and progress updated through the WhatsApp chat. The dedication and the behind-the-scenes work, including detailed Excel spreadsheets, personalized for my needs, made all the difference. The individualization of this program made the transition from group classes to one-on-one sessions seamless and efficient. 

The results really speak for themselves. I scored a 780, missing only three questions in math, which is crazy. I highly recommend Peace of Pi Learning to any student looking to excel in their SATs. The team provides top-notch tutoring, and their dedication to students’ success is unmatched. Thank you again, Peace of Pi Learning, for being the key to unlocking my full potential.
